Funding & Grants
Some hints for both beginners and vetrans of the grants writing process...
Before trying to find the right funding program, it is important to be able to articulate just what you're trying to achieve and a rough idea of the resources needed.
Funding programs are increasingly competitive with strict guidelines and selection criteria. They generally will not support retrospective activity nor provide 100% of funds required for a project and may not fit in with your timeframe.
It may be that seeking sponsorship or undertaking fundraising is a more effective way of getting what you need. (Even if you proceed with applying for a grant, there is often an expectation of income from other sources such as fundraising and sponsorship).
